Why do so many cyclists seem to not understand this and appreciate the implications?
Motorists drift all the time. 99.99% of the time it inconsequential. I do what I can to give them a reason to pay attention and not drift while they are overtaking me. So what I do is counter-intuitive, but it works very well for me. I move left
into their path (!!!) as they are approaching from behind. That gets their attention! Good! Then, out of courtesy (not safety!), before they reach me, I move aside to let them pass (assuming it is wide enough, safe and reasonable to let them do that).
